Halloween!
I'm a little behind in my posts but wanted to share a pic of Noa at Halloween. She was going to be Spongebob but my sister and her kids dressed her up at a Kitty Cat and she looked super cute! We went to YaYa's house to show her your constume and went trick-or-treating on her block. Trick-or-treating was cut short since it was too difficult to get your stroller up and down the stairs and all houses in that area have stairs... sorry, but mommy didn't think of that.
It didn't take Noa long to realize there was candy in the orange pumpkin... "yum-yum!"

Plan of Action for Puke
I went to check on Princess Noa at about midnight... poor Monkey was sleeping in Puke. It's probably my fault... she has been sleeping in my bed for about a week as she wasn't feeling well. In preparation for going back to work, I decided that she was going to sleep in her bed last night, no matter how long she cried! Unfortunately, I think she cried so hard until she puked but who knows?!
I took her out of bed, put her in my bed, and she went back to sleep. Her room was so stinky that I had to get laundry started... luckily we had enough soap for one load. She puked again at 4 a.m. so now there are no beds left. I figured there has to be a better way to deal with puke! I googled 'how to clean-up after puking' and found the following idea:
Double sheet the beds. I never thought this would be something worth sharing, because I thought everyone knew it, but last year at a friend’s twin’s baby shower I discovered that almost none of my friends knew this trick. For quick and easy clean up of not just throw-up, but baby spit-up, wetting the bed, and poopy blow-outs, double sheets are imperative. You can get a messy crib ready for a fussy baby with one hand within 15 seconds. Please don’t think I’m speaking down to you when I explain exactly how this is done. Again, I wouldn’t do it if my dear friend and mother of three hadn’t said, “Double sheeting never works for me because the pee always goes through to the second sheet anyway.” Dear friends, you need TWO waterproof pads. This is key.
What a genius idea... thanks Kaite! Ah, don't you just love the Internet?
